that he is in NO WAY hoggish. To
look back on that time, it does not
| appear to be so very long since, but
what an immense amount of history
has been made in that apparently
short period. In that space en-
'pires have risen and empires have
fallen and monarchs have dropped
from absolute power into bloody
graves or dreary exile. Two law
fully elected presidents of this great
republic of free people, have died by
assassins' shots and it is impossible
to estimate the results of the tre-
mendous revolution that has occur
red in the affairs of this country.
In OUR little village the changes are
great indeed. Most of the people
who lived here at the time of the ia
nous raid are sleeping in death or
scattered through every State of this
Union, and new generation has
taken their old places. Nearly half
our present voting population were
unborn at the time we write of ard
those who were then in the prime OF
manhood are NOW tottering at the
verge of the grave. Bnt the face of
Nature is the same and, to borrow
an expression from Byron's celebrat-
ed apostrophe to the Ocean, the So
lar Cycle that has seen these mighty
changes has written no wrinkles on
her impassive countenance. The
magnificent scenery before us is the
same as on that fated October morn
ing and the same it will be when
the number of Cycles shall have
gone beyond the mathematician
power of enumeration. "The rivers
run into the sea yet the sea is not
full: unto the place from whence the
rivers come thither they return
again." and the unvarying round
goes on through the ages. regard
less of us poor shadows and the
phantoms we pursue. I. X.

Robbery and Murder.

On Thursday night of last week
4 number of masked men entered
the house of Rev. T. S. Ryan, near
Walton, Roane County, and de
manded his money. On refusing to
give it up he was shot and killed.
The thieves then plundered his
house and took their departure.
This atrocious act so enraged the
citizens, that a posse Of 600 men was
soon organized and gave chase to
the murderers. On Friday George
Duff. ir., was killed by vigilantes
Jake Coon, who said ne was from
the far West and formerly one of
the Jesse James gang, together with
Robert Duff. brother Of Geo. Duff,
ir., were caught. Robert DUFF and
Jake Coon were taken to the home
of RYAN and identified by the fami-
". Coon was lynched and Duff
shot and his throat cut from ear to
ear. William Drake, one of the rob
bers, was caught and confessed that
there was band Of them who were
engaged in the murder Of Ryan, and
the robbery of number of stores
throughout sections of Roane and
Jackson counties, and that Dan.
Cunningham, q member of the Eu-
reka Detective Agency, of Charles
ton, was the party who planned the
whole affair, and they were only his
followers who carried out his plans.
Over 600 men are after Cunning
ham and the rest of the band. If
they are caught there will probably
be more lynching.

On Tuesday evening last quite a
handsome reception was given in
honor of Mr.. b. c. Washington, Jr.,
and bride, at the residence of the
groOm's father, in this city. Between
the hours Of S to 10 p. m, there was
4 constant coming and going OF
crowds of friends. The brilliantly
lighted parlors, in which prone
naded fair women and brave men,
dressed in rich and becoming cos
tunes, presented indeed beautiful
picture. In one apartment the bride
and groom, standing under an arch
of evergreens, from which suspended
two horseshoes of rare flowers, re-
ceived the many greetings, cOngrat-
ulations and wishes for their future
happiness in a most graceful man
ner. When a bountiful repast, which
we will not undertake to describe,
had been partaken Of the host and
hostess hidden adieu, all took their
departure, thinking Of the pleasant
evening they had spent.

Pawning Her Boys Clothes for Medicine.
A poor woman in Wales. whose boy had
been very i'll for several years, had expend-
ed all of her means to pay for medicine.
At last the doctors gave him up and said
he must die. He suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the
Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence Of
the curative power of their Extract Of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothing to buy bottle Of
the remedy (Siegel's Syrup. but now she
feels proud that she did so. for it was the
means of curing her son. The Shakers say
this was the result of Indigestion and that
the medicine cured the Dyspepsia. and that
the rheumatism was only symptom of the
real disease. For coughs the Shaker Tar
Capsules are strongly recommended.
